History:

On 29th April Traveltime was fortunate to secure seats on the Ceres Rail vintage steam train to the newly established Elgin Railway Market. What a great trip this was! See our report & Photos

The April week-end trips (yes there were 2) were a first for Elgin, to celebrate the opening of this unique market, at the same time as the Elgin Cool Wine & Country Food Festival. After the Festival the market was closed to the public to complete work within the building.

The market will re-open in June, after adding finishing touches and installing additional clients and more eateries. These trips will now become a fixture in the Ceres Rail calendar.

Upcoming trips are scheduled on the above dates.

So, join this “blast from the past” by enjoying a relaxed train trip through breathtaking Cape scenery and experience the modern Railway Market for a few hours in Elgin.
